How to transfer FSMO roles

Hello:

I am preparing to transfer the FSMO Roles from 1 Windows Domain Controller to another DC.  I have reviewed the process from the following web site: https://www.petri.com/seizing_fsmo_roles  ... and I have created more specific instructions for my network (Attached).  

I unfortunately do not have a test Lab or Test Domain to practice with on and I have not transferred roles in a very long time.  Hence, I wanted to verify the steps involved.  I created a similar question earlier
 ( https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28977018/How-to-swap-out-existing-domain-controllers-with-2-new-domain-Controllers.html ) ; but this is a little different and specifically focused on transferring the FSMO roles.

I am particularly concerned with the process to "To Transfer the Schema Master Role:" section (page 5, #8).  Even though I received a warning I think I should be able to transfer the Schema Master Role, as documented.  Or am I wrong and I should go about it a different way?

I wanted to ask other Network Administrators who may have done this before.  Just to put my mind at ease.
